Blue Book: J6
| Description: This patch was the third variant of our
"Vigil Blanket patch" resulting from a reorder when the earlier issue was
exhausted. We elected to use a White twill background to reduce costs for this
issue, which makes it the easiest to identify of the four runs produced. It was
always attached to a dark blue blanket used by the Vigil member. It was never
sold. The design is best distinguished from the (Blue Book) J2, by the straight
up end of the smoke curl, and the limp appearance of the pipe in the figures
hands. The design below the middle W in WWW also takes on the shape of a "2".
For more on this patch and the Vigil Blanket see the description of the (Blue
Book) J1. WARNING TO COLLECTORS: In recent years we have seen a few examples of this patch having been faked. |
